The COVID-19 pandemic forced millions around the globe into quarantine. An increase in time spent at home meant a lot more time using home furniture during the day and night. Home offices forced people to go from their work office chairs to their kitchen chairs, leading to back pain and other issues. As the market began to look more closely into comfortable furniture that could enhance the experience of both work and casual lounging, the beanbag furniture market started to grow. Yogibo and Moonpod are two of the biggest names in the beanbag furniture industry. Today’s article will compare the two brands and dive deeper into the causes of the beanbag boom.
